Zhou Xinran was terrified when he saw his sister faint after being scratched.

He carried Zhou Lerui on his back and ran back, but he couldn't find his way back.

They kept wandering around the town until they were finally cornered in a house by those strange plants.

Then they met Xia Feng, and Lin Xuan and Xia Feng were rescued.

When Zhou Xinran mentioned hearing a loud explosion and feeling the ground shake, Lin Xuan and the other person quickly shook their heads, indicating that they had nothing to do with the incident.

At four in the morning, the fog outside grew thicker and thicker, and Lin Xuan could even see fine white fog particles swirling in the darkness.

The dampness soaked my clothes, making them stick to my body and feel heavy, indescribably uncomfortable and oppressive.

The air was filled with the stench of dirt mixed with the stench of zombies, making it nauseating.

Lin Xuan lit a charcoal brazier to dispel the fog inside the tower.

The eerie fog was disorienting, and the mutated plants in the darkness seemed ready to stir.

Lin Xuan heard the bell again, this time the sound was clearer, and even Xia Feng and Zhou Xinran could hear it.

"What is that sound?" Xia Feng stared blankly at the darkness outside the tower.

“I heard it too, is that the sound of a bell?” Zhou Xinran said.

The bell seemed to be summoning something; something outside passed by, making a rustling sound, and then converged in the direction from which the bell came.

“I vaguely heard this sound in the small supermarket before. It’s really not right. Let’s not go out for now. Let’s stay here until dawn.”

A remote ancient town, bizarre mutant zombie plants, and the chilling sound of bells.

These elements are all part of a horror movie.

Lin Xuan loved watching horror movies even before the apocalypse, and she knew the principle of not being too curious and exploring anything in such a scene.

However, Zhou Lerui is currently unconscious, and the Peng brothers have not yet been found, making the situation suddenly complicated.

However, it seemed they had no other choice but to eke out a living in this small, dilapidated tower.

The eerie bell rang until dawn, when the thick fog outside dissipated considerably, and Zhou Lerui woke up from her unconsciousness.

"Cough cough cough—Brother, I got bitten by a zombie... Help..."

She had barely opened her eyes when she woke up and was about to scream, but she was too weak and her voice was hoarse, so she could only mumble incoherently.

Zhou Xinran excitedly scooped her up in his arms, shouting loudly, "Rui Rui, you're awake! You're finally awake! You scared me to death, you brat! I thought you were definitely turned into a zombie..."

"I told you not to come, but you insisted. Now look what happened, you got scratched by zombies! Why are you so troublesome? How am I supposed to face my family if you die? You brat..."

Zhou Xinran was hugged tightly by Zhou Lerui, so tightly that Zhou Lerui rolled her eyes back.

Seeing that Zhou Lerui was about to stick out her tongue, Xia Feng and Lin Xuan quickly separated the two.

He's finally awake, don't give him any more pain.

Lin Xuan checked Zhou Lerui's wounds again. Under the gauze, the three cuts had closed, and the surrounding skin was no longer bluish-black, but had a normal light red color.

Xiao Huang is really awesome, but this could also be because superhumans are naturally physically strong.

Zhou Xinran adored his younger sister for a while, but then started to complain about her nagging again.

Since Zhou Lerui woke up, her mouth hadn't stopped moving. Her voice was still very hoarse, but that didn't stop her from speaking.

She repeatedly asked her brother about what happened during her coma, and after hearing what had happened, she dragged her unsteady legs to go out and find Peng Xiaozhe.

This annoyed Zhou Xinran to no end.

Given her condition, she definitely can't be allowed to go out and look for people anymore.

Xia Feng and Lin Xuan decided to let the two of them stay in the small tower while they went out to check the situation.

If you can find them quickly, come back and meet up with them.

Zhou Lerui took a couple of steps and realized that she was not moving smoothly, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Little Bao, please be careful and come back soon. I'll be waiting for you here."

Zhou Lerui, supported by Zhou Xinran, stood at the door, gazing longingly at Lin Xuan's retreating figure.

By this time, the fog outside had completely dissipated, and the sky was beginning to brighten.

Lin Xuan resolutely refused Xia Feng's embrace.

She waved to Zhou Lerui, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Peng Xiaozhe back. You should go back and lie down for a while."

After bidding a reluctant farewell to Zhou Lerui, the two once again stepped into this terrifying town.

The town was desolate and bleak in the early morning, and the sky was still gray.

After crossing the ancient bridge, the zombie heads that had been seen surging in the stream below were no longer visible.

The stream was covered with a thick layer of green algae, giving it a deathly stillness.

The alien plant zombie hands that had attacked them so fiercely in the narrow alley had withered, but stretched out and clung tightly to the dilapidated buildings, like broken decorations on broken bricks and tiles.

"Brother, look at the ground!" Lin Xuan noticed obvious drag marks on the muddy stone path beneath their feet.

The trail meandered, pointing in the same direction as the withered plants on the wall.

Thinking of the bell that seemed to be guiding them last night, and the rustling sounds outside rushing towards somewhere, they decided to follow those trails to take a look.

"Watch where you're going!" Xia Feng reminded Lin Xuan worriedly, holding her hand tightly as they walked ahead.

This street isn't actually very long, but it has many twists and turns.

It's really not easy to go out at night.

Following the trail, the two finally emerged from the alley and arrived at the town square.

Looking from afar, a towering ancient tree stands in the center of the square, its canopy blocking out the sun.

Lin Xuan pulled Xia Feng and quickly ran towards the ancient tree, but stopped halfway there.

The scene before her terrified her, her hair stood on end, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Beneath the ancient tree lay piles of corpses, some of which had decomposed into black liquid.

Moreover, the corpses were covered with the roots of ancient trees, which seemed to have become one with the bodies, a truly horrifying sight.

The corpses surrounded the ancient tree, one after another, in a pilgrimage-like posture, densely covering a large area.

The tree trunk, which takes three or four people to encircle, is entwined with emerald green vines, and clusters of white flowers, shaped like large bowls and bells, bloom on the vines.

White flowers spread along the dark gray, cracked bark to every strong, curved branch.

The flowers hang down from the branches like curtains. The buds of these bellflowers are all closed, and the round flower balls rise and fall with the swaying of the branches, as if they are breathing.

"What kind of flower is this?" Lin Xuan asked Xia Feng.

"It's lily of the valley...lily of the valley is also called perfume flower, its flowers smell as sweet as perfume."

However, the white flowers twining on the tree look very beautiful, but the smell is so strong that it can make you faint if you get too close.

The two walked halfway around the ancient tree when Lin Xuan suddenly noticed an empty space in the pile of corpses not far away.

There were two people lying there, none other than Peng Yu and Peng Ze!
